What is the role of the Load Control Center (LCC)?

The role of the Load Control Center (LCC) primarily involves the management and analysis of weight and balance information for an aircraft. One of its critical functions is to assist in the production and transmission of ACARS (Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System) Weight Data Record. This system allows for real-time communication of weight and balance information, ensuring that the aircraft is loaded within its safety parameters for flight operations.

By accurately compiling this data and transmitting it, the LCC plays a vital part in enhancing flight safety and operational efficiency. This function enables ground staff to make informed decisions regarding aircraft loading and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Thus, the LCC's activities significantly impact the overall safety and performance of flight operations.
